Addiction & Recovery

of addiction.
..That is it: We admit it at one time of the day, or one day of the week, and another time of the day, or later in the week, then we say we don't have a problem. Or, I got it licked and it is over. Then it starts over again, and over again. Admitting the problem is a step in recovery, no matter what steps you take. Or how you take them.
..Then, you need some kind of plan to overcome the .."scheme" but you still do "things my way"...your words..
If you didn't want to "get better" you wouldn't be here. We want to get "better" but getting "better" is changing what we do and think sometimes.. Old thoughts do not go away, but we need to say those thoughts are not the truth. The truth is something else, because the old thoughts were responsible for hurting us. So, when the .."old thoughts" come back, we try to say.."those thoughts are not the truth." And let's go for some other thoughts.
.....As I said in other posts, It is not easy... It is very hard..
......It is actually very hard to change what we do & think.

Now...this is very important:..There is a group of writers and people out there that try to tell us that it is easy to take weight off and keep it off, or stop drinking and drugging permanently. Those people try to sell us books and magazines and ideas that tell us...."THAT IT IS EASY.'
... I often see such articles at magazine collections in food stores and other places..It ain't easy, if it were easy, it would be easy to accomplish it.

...It ain't easy..just keep coming back, going to whatever meetings you go to, and never give up. Stick with those who have been successful and don't give up. Oh, it ain't so simple either..That is another post for another time..
